Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils, or food in the cavity when not in use. - Do not overcook food. Carefully attend the microwave oven if paper, plastic, or other combustible materials are placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY (a) Do not attempt to operate this oven with the door open since open-door operation can result in harmful exposure to microwave energy. It is important not to defeat or tamper with the safety interlocks. (b)Do not place any object between the oven front face and the door or allow soil or cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces. (c) Do not operate the oven if it is damaged. It is particularly important that the oven door close properly and that there is no damage to the: (1) door (bent), (2) hinges and latches (broken or loosened), (3) door seals and sealing surfaces. (d) The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except properly qualified service personnel. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Before you begin operating the oven, carefully read the following 1. Empty the microwave oven. Clean the inside with a soft, clamp cloth. Check for damage such as a door that isn't lined up correctly, damage around the door, or dents inside the oven or on the exterior. If there is any damage, do not operate the oven until a designated service technician has checked it and made any needed repairs. ooooooooooooooo 0°%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %%%_%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% 2. Put the oven on a cart, counter, table, or shelf that is strong enough to hold the oven and the food and utensils you put in it. (The control side of the unit is the heavy side. Use care when handling the oven.) The weight of the oven is about 55 Ibs (25 kg). The microwave oven should be at a temperature above 50°F (10°C) for proper operation. NOTE: You can build your microwave oven into a wall or cabinet by using one of the trim kits listed in the "Built-in kits" section. NOTE: Do not block the exhaust vents or air intake openings. Allow a few inches of space at the back of the oven where the exhaust vents are located. Blocking the exhaust vents could cause damage to the oven and poor cooking results. Make sure the microwave oven legs are in place to ensure proper airflow. If vents are blocked, a sensitive thermal safety device may automatically turn the oven off. The oven should work properly once it has cooled. Fire Hazard instructions. %%%%%%°%%%q_%%%%% %_%%%o %%%%%%%%% %%%%% 0%%%%%%%% ® Power supply cord Air intake opening (in rear) Exhaust vent (in rear) Observe all governing codes and ordinances. A 120 Volt, 60 Hz, AC only, 15- or 20-amp fused electrical supply is required. (A time-delay fuse is recommended.) It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided. Electrical Shock Hazard Do not install the oven next to or over a heat source without a UL approved trim kit. Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet. Doing so can result in death, fire, or electrical shock. Do not use an adapter. Do not use an extension cord. Do not remove ground prong.

In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. The microwave oven is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded. WARNING: Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. INSTRUCTIONS Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or serviceman install an outlet near the microwave oven. • For a permanently connected appliance: The microwave oven must be connected to a grounded, metallic, permanent wiring system, or an equipment grounding conductor should be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipment grounding terminal or lead on the microwave oven. Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the microwave oven is properly grounded. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS GETTING TOKNOW YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN This section discusses the concepts behind microwave cooking. It also shows you the basics you need to know to operate your microwave oven. Please read this information before you use your oven. Microwave energy is not hot. It causes food to make its own heat, and it's this heat that cooks the food. _"i',,,,,,,,,, _ ,,,," ",,, "%, Microwaves are like TV waves, radio waves, or light waves. You cannot see them, but you can see what they do. A magnetron in the microwave oven produces microwaves. The microwaves move into the oven where they contact food as it turns on the turntable. Microwave + Your oven has a MAXWAVE TM multiple microwave distribution system. Microwave energy is released from two locations, giving you better, more even cooking. Oven cavity Magnetron Convection \ Glass turntable m m Metal floor Combination The glass turntable of your microwave oven lets microwaves pass through. Then they bounce off a metal floor, back through the glass turntable, and are absorbed by the food. Microwaves pass through most glass, paper, and plastics without heating them so food absorbs the energy. Microwaves bounce off metal containers so food does not absorb the energy. Convection cooking circulates hot air through the oven cavity with a fan. The constantly moving air surrounds the food to heat the outer portion quickly. Your oven uses convection cooking whenever you use the Auto Convection, Manual Convection or Combination cooking programs. DO NOT USE THE OVEN WITHOUT THE TURNTABLE IN PLACE. microwave/convection Sometimes combination microwave-convection cooking is suggested to get the proper cooking results. It shortens the cooking time for foods that normally need a long time to cook. This cooking process also leaves meats juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside. In combination cooking, the convection heat and microwave energy alternate automatically. Your oven has a setting that makes it • If you increase or decrease the amount of food you prepare, the time it takes to cook that food will also change. For example, if you double a recipe, add a little more than half the original cooking time. Check for doneness and, if necessary, add more time in small increments. ii iii!ii:!!ii ,ii i¸¸ii i ii ;ii:il ¸i:ii'il iii • The lower the temperature of the food being put into the microwave oven, the longer it takes to cook. Food at room temperature will be reheated more quickly than food at refrigerator temperature. • Food faster sugar water with a lot of fat and sugar will be heated than food containing a lot of water. Fat and will also reach a higher temperature than in the cooking process. • The more dense the food, the longer it takes to heat. "Very dense" food like meat takes longer to reheat than lighter, more porous food like sponge cakes. • Smaller pieces of food will cook faster than larger pieces. Also, same-shaped pieces cook more evenly than different-shaped pieces. • With foods that have different thicknesses, the thinner parts will cook faster than the thicker parts. Place the thinner parts of chicken wings and legs in the center of the dish. • Stirring and turning foods spreads heat quickly to the center of the dish and avoids overcooking at the outer edges of the food. Cover food to: • Reduce splattering • Shorten cooking times • Keep food moist You can use any covering that lets microwaves pass through. See "Getting to Know Your Microwave Oven" for materials that microwaves will pass through. If you are using the Sensor function, be sure to vent. • Several foods (for example: baked potatoes, sausages, egg yolks, and some fruits) are tightly covered by a skin or membrane. Steam can build up under the membrane during cooking, causing the food to burst. To relieve the pressure and to prevent bursting, pierce these foods before cooking with a fork, cocktail pick, or toothpick. Always allow food to stand after cooking. Standing time after defrosting and cooking allows the temperature to evenly spread throughout the food, improving the cooking results. • The length of the standing time depends on how much food you are cooking and how dense it is. Sometimes it can be as short as the time it takes you to remove the food from the oven and take it to the serving table. However, with larger, denser food, the standing time may be as long as 10 minutes. For best results, place food evenly on the plate. You can do this in several ways: • If you are cooking several items of the same food, such as baked potatoes, place them in a ring pattern for uniform cooking. • When cooking foods of uneven shapes or thickness, such as chicken breasts, place the smaller or thinner area of the food towards the center of the dish where it will be heated last. • Layer thin slices of meat on top of each other. • When you cook or reheat whole fish, score the skin - this prevents cracking. • Do not let food or a container touch the top or sides of the oven. This will prevent possible arcing. Metal containers should not be used in a microwave oven. There are, however, some exceptions. If you have purchased food which is prepackaged in an aluminum foil container, refer to the instructions on the package. When using aluminum foil containers, cooking times may be longer because microwaves will only penetrate the top of the food. (See "Oven Utensils Guide".) If you use aluminum containers without package instructions, follow these guidelines: • Place the container in a glass bowl and add some water so that it covers the bottom of the container, not more than ¼ in. (6.4 mm) high. This ensures even heating of the container bottom. • Always remove the lid to avoid damage to the oven. • Use only undamaged containers. • Do not use containers taller than _ in. (1.9 cm). • Container must be at least half filled. • To avoid arcing, there must be a minimum ¼ in. (6.4 mm) between the aluminum container and the walls of the oven and also between two aluminum containers. • Always place the container on the turntable. • Reheating food in aluminum foil containers usually takes up to double the time compared to reheating in plastic, glass, china, or paper containers. The time when food is ready will vary depending upon the type of container you use. • Let food stand for 2 to 3 minutes after heating so that heat is spread evenly throughout container.

Closed glass jars may explode, resulting in damage to the oven. • Do not use the microwave oven to sterilize objects (baby bottles, etc.). It is difficult to keep the oven at the high temperature needed for sterilization. iilI Using your microwave oven may cause interference to your radio, TV, or similar equipment.

Check to see how the food is cooking. If needed, touch JET STARTTM Feature pad while the oven is operating or after the cooking cycle is over (see the "Using JET START TM Feature" section). do not have a cover for a dish, use wax or microwave-approved paper towels or wrap.

To test a dish for safe use, put it into the oven with 1 cup (250 mL) of water beside it. Cook at 100% cook power for one minute. If the dish gets hot and water stays cool, do not use it. Some dishes (melamine, some ceramic dinnerware, etc.) absorb microwave energy and may become too hot to handle or may slow cooking times. Cooking in metal containers not designed for microwave use could damage the oven, as could containers with hidden metal (twist-ties, foil lining, staples, metallic glaze or trim). iiiiiiiii illiii Never lean on the door or allow a child to swing on it when the door is open. Use hot pads. Microwave energy does not heat containers, but the heat from the food can make the container hot. Do not use newspaper or other printed paper in the oven. Do not dry flowers, fruit, herbs, wood, paper, gourds, or clothes in the oven. Do not start a microwave oven when it is empty. Product life may be shortened. If you practice programming the oven, put a container of water in the oven. It is normal for the oven door to look wavy after the oven has been running for a while. • When you use a browning dish, the browning dish bottom must be at least _0 in. (5 mm) above the turntable. Follow the directions supplied with the browning dish. • Never cook or reheat a whole egg inside the shell. Steam buildup in whole eggs may cause them to burst, and possibly damage the oven. Slice hard-boiled eggs before heating. In rare cases, poached eggs have been known to explode. Cover poached eggs and allow a standing time of one minute before cutting into them. • For best results, stir any liquid several times during heating or reheating. Liquids heated in certain containers (especially containers shaped like cylinders) may become overheated. The liquid may splash out with a loud noise during or after heating or when adding ingredients (coffee granules, tea bags, etc.). This can damage the oven. • Microwaves may not reach the center of a roast. The heat spreads to the center from the outer, cooked areas just as in regular oven cooking. This is one of the reasons for letting some foods (for example, roasts or baked potatoes) stand for a while after cooking, or for stirring some foods during the cooking time. • Do not deep fry in the oven. Microwavable utensils are not suitable and it is difficult to maintain appropriate deep-frying temperatures. • Do not overcook potatoes. At the end of the recommended cooking time, potatoes should be slightly firm because they will continue cooking during standing time. After microwaving, let potatoes stand for 5 minutes. They will finish cooking while standing. Do not try to melt paraffin wax in the oven. Paraffin wax will not melt in a microwave oven because it allows microwaves to pass through it. Do not operate the microwave oven unless the glass turntable is securely in place and can rotate freely. The turntable can rotate in either direction. Make sure the turntable is correct-side up in the oven. Handle your turntable with care when removing it from the oven to avoid possibly break_ng it. If your turntable cracks or breaks, contact your dealer for a replacement. 10 If your electric power line or outlet voltage is less than 110 volts, cooking times may be longer. Have a qualified electrician check your electrical system. i!iiiiii!iiii!i!!! !!!!!!! iiiiiiiiiii!!iiiiiiiiiiiii!iii:ii;:!!:ii!iii iliii!!! i i!iiiiii:i:i!iiiil;iii!ii i !ii!iiiliiii!i iill iiiiiiiii@iW ii!iii!iiiJ!i it !iii!!!!!i iiii!:@iiii!ili@il ® ® ®® Your microwave oven is designed to make your cooking experience enjoyable and productive.

DEFROST has preset times and cook powers for 6 categories: Meat, Poultry, Fish, Bagel, Muffin and Butter. You are probably used to food weights as being in pounds and ounces that are fractions of a pound (for example, 4 ounces equals ¼ pound [113.4 g]). If the weight on the food package is in fractions of a pound, you can use the following chart to convert the weight to decimals. 1. Touch DEFROST. Once for Meat, twice for Poultry, 3 times for Fish, 4 times for Bagel, 5 times for Muffin, 6 times for Butter. 2. Touch START. 3. Touch HOUR/1 LB or MIN/0.1 LB pad for weight when defrosting Meat, Poultry or Fish. For Bagel, Muffin or Butter, touch the HOUR pad for quantity.

Touch MIN and SEC Up and Down pads to set the time for manual defrosting. The power is automatically unless you change it. 3. Touch set at 30 percent, START. 4. At the end of the defrosting time: Display will show "END" and 3 tones will sound. • The length of defrosting time varies according to how solidly the food is frozen. • The shape of the package affects how quickly food will defrost. Shallow packages will defrost more quickly than a deep block. • As food begins to defrost, separate the pieces. Separated pieces defrost more evenly. • Use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield parts of food such as chicken wings, leg tips, fish tails, or areas that start to get warm. Make sure the foil does not touch the sides, top, or bottom of the oven. The foil can damage the oven lining. • For better results, let food stand after defrosting. (For more information on standing time, see "Microwave cooking tips".) • Turn food over during defrosting or standing time. Break apart and remove food as required. 17 I !i!iii i iil The JET START Feature lets you cook food for 30 seconds at 100% cook power or, during any manual program, you can use it to add 30-second increments.

For proper care, please follow these instructions carefully. Your microwave oven has a stainless steel interior. Unlike painted steel interiors found in most other microwave ovens, the surface will not chip, rust, or corrode. Over time, stains can occur on the stainless steel surface as the result of food particles splattering during cooking. This is normal. Do not use metal scouring pads on inside of oven cavity. They will scratch the surface. For interior surfaces: Wash often with warm, sudsy water and a sponge or soft cloth. Use only mild, nonabrasive soaps or a mild detergent. Be sure to keep the areas clean where the door and oven frame touch when closed. Wipe well with clean water. Over time, stains can occur on the surfaces as the result of food particles spattering during cooking. This is normal. For stubborn soil, boil a cup (250 mL) of water in the oven for 2 or 3 minutes. Steam will soften the soil. To get rid of odors inside the oven, boil a cup (250 mL) of water with lemon juice or vinegar. For exterior surfaces and control paneh Use a soft cloth with spray glass cleaner. Apply the spray glass cleaner to the soft cloth; do not spray directly on the oven. you should NOTE: Abrasive cleansers, steel-wool pads, gritty wash cloths, some paper towels, etc., can damage the control panel and the interior and exterior oven surfaces. For stainless steel surfaces: • Do not use steel wool or soap-filled scouring pad. Rub in the direction of the grain line to avoid marring the surface. Always wipe dry to avoid water marks. • if commercial cleaners are used, follow label directions. If product contains chlorine (bleach), wipe thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft lint free cloth. Chlorine is a corrosive substance. To clean turntable and turntable support, wash in mild, sudsy water; for heavily soiled areas use a mild cleanser and scouring sponge. The turntable and turntable support are dishwasher-safe. To clean the Convection Rack, wash in mild sudsy water; for heavily soiled areas use a mild cleanser and scouring sponge. Rack is dishwasher-safe. Remove rack from oven when it is not being used for cooking. CLEANING TASK WHAT TO USE HOW TO CLEAN Routine cleaning and fingerprints, Liquid detergent/soap and water, or all-purpose cleaner, Wipe with damp cloth or sponge, then wipe with clean water and dry. Stubborn stains and baked-on residue Mildly abrasive cleanser or stainless-steel cleaners To avoid marring the surface, rub in the direction of grain lines with a damp cloth or sponge and cleanser. Wipe thoroughly with clean water. Repeat if necessary. Hard water spots Vinegar Swab or wipe with cloth. Wipe with clean water and dry. 25 UESTIONS ANDANSWERS 26 QUESTIONS ANSWERS Can I operate my microwave oven without the turntable or turn the turntable over to hold a large dish? No. If you remove or turn over the turntable, you will get poor cooking results. Dishes used in your oven must fit on the turntable. Can I use a rack in my microwave oven so that I may reheat or cook on two levels at a time? You can use a rack only if the rack is supplied with your microwave oven. If you use a rack not supplied with the microwave oven, you can get poor cooking performance and/or arcing. Can I use either metal or aluminum pans in my microwave oven? You can use aluminum foil for shielding (use small, flat pieces), small skewers, and shallow foil trays (if tray is not taller than _ in. [1.9 cm] deep and half filled with food to absorb microwave energy). Never allow metal to touch walls or door. (See "Oven Utensils Guide".) Is it normal for the turntable to turn in either direction? Yes. The turntable rotates clockwise or counterclockwise, depending on the rotation of the motor when the cooking cycle begins. Sometimes the door of my microwave oven appears wavy. Is this normal? This appearance is normal and does not affect the operation of your oven. What are the humming noises that I hear when my microwave oven is operating? You may hear the sound of the transformer when the magnetron tube cycles on. Why does the dish become hot when I microwave food in it? I thought that this should not happen, As the food becomes hot it will conduct the heat to the dish. Be prepared to use hot pads to remove food after cooking. What does "standing time" mean? "Standing time" means that food should be removed from the oven and covered for additional time to allow it to finish cooking. This frees the oven for other cooking. Why does steam come out of the air exhaust vents? Steam is normally produced during cooking. The microwave oven has been designed to vent this steam out the vents. Can I pop popcorn in my microwave oven? How do I get the best results? Yes. Pop packaged microwave popcorn following manufacturer's guidelines or use the preset SENSOR POPCORN pad. Do not use regular paper bags. Use the "listening test" by stopping the oven as soon as the popping slows to a "pop" every 1 or 2 seconds. Do not repop unpopped kernels. Do not pop popcorn in glass cookware. TROUBLESHOOTING Most cooking problems often are caused by little things kind.
